David Moore: Oshiomogho Atogwe is on Dallas Cowboys’ radar

SportsDay’s David Moore answered readers’ questions in a chat Wednesday.

On Oshiomogho Atogwe replacing Ken Hamlin:

Oshiomogho Atogwe — spell that fast three times — is on the Cowboys’ radar screen. He’s shown an ability to make plays, which this team needs in the secondary. I wouldn’t be surprised if he comes in for a visit, but at this stage, nothing is scheduled.

On the Cowboys’ interest in drafting USC’s Taylor Mays:

How can any team not be high on Mays after what he did at the combine? The description of Mays as a faster Roy Williams is valid. He’s known for his hitting skills, not his coverage ability, although with his speed, he will be able to compensate for mistakes in coverage. If you’re concerned of seeing Roy Williams II here, don’t be. Mays won’t slip to the Cowboys’ pick at No. 27, and I don’t envision them moving up to get him.

On the Cowboys’ choice with the 27th pick:

Who will be available at this spot will change repeatedly over the next few weeks. So let me cop out and offer a pool of players that could be on that plateau: Maryland offensive tackle Bruce Campbell, USC offensive taclke Charles Brown, Michigan defensive end Brandon Graham, UCLA defensive taclke Brian Price and Florida State cornerback Patrick Robinson. I assume those players would be in the discussion.

On trading Martellus Bennett:

See how Martellus Bennett responds to his drop in production last season. He’s a wonderfully talented player with a huge upside. Now is not the time to move him.
